Join the large hexagons by machine. The ¼" marked spots are your stopping and starting points when sewing. (A) Line up 2 hexagons, sew in a few stitches from the marked spot, then backstitch to hold this seam in place being careful not to sew into the ¼" opening. Sew to the next marked spot (B) then backstitch. Align the sides of the hexagons then begin sewing at marked spot. Note: This step becomes easier and easier with practice. However, it does become cumbersome to handle as the quilt top gets larger. Pressing and lightly starching as you go makes the top more managable.
